I gave personal info to a scammer please help!?

This afternoon my husband and I were hit with the IRS scam. Yes I now know that they NEVER call. It's to late for that. I normally never fall for this but I have to file as injured spouse and I thought maybe there were issues with it and I thought maybe they tried to reach by mail but couldn't because we just moved a few weeks ago. Anyway they have my name and address and social security number. They didn't ask for bank info credit card info and they didn't tell me that I owed money they didn't ask for money what so ever or anything money related. But still they have my name address and social security number. I called the FTC and reported it I also reported it to the state attorney general I reported it to my bank anyway even though I didn't give them bank info. I also reported it to transunion and they put a 90 day security on my social security number. Transunion said the other two credit bureaus will be notified within 24-48 hours of the security put on my social security number. I also reported it to the social security administration. As of now transunion told me I have nothing on my credit report an that I don't even have a credit score I have no credit and I am currently not working. I'm hoping because I have no credit and I can't even get a loan or credit card myself believe me I've tried lol that there won't be to much they can do with my information. I think I took all the proper steps but I'm still a nervous wreck and I feel so stupid.
